    Anthony Dirrell

    Anybody ever hear of this guy. I just got the privilage of seeing him fight on MSG channel, and james toney was commentating. The guy is very young, and has only fought 8 professional fights.

    He has 8 wins with 8 KO's. In the fight i saw, against some mexican dude, he got a first round KO. And boy, was he relaxed. He seemed bored, it was that easy for him. He landed beatiful combos, but occasionally got ****y and got rammed with hard rights. But overall, he landed a few very big punches, knocking him down and out in the first round.

    Needless to say, i was extremely impressed by his performance. He fights and moves much like Floyd mayweather, except he attacks more and doesnt run. I havent found a young prospect to follow in a long while, this guy seems to be it.


    He also has a brother, who is also undefeated. He has 6-0 wins with 4 KOs. he fought last night also, but i didnt get to see the whole fight.


    Has anybody heard of these guys? if not, i strongly recomend looking these guys up. they should be big stuff someday.

      yea i was thinking that also... never really followed moorer so i didnt wanna sound like an idiot by saying that. lol.


      I also just looked at his record on a website. It says all his wins are by first round KO, and most have been in uder 1:30. In fact, one was in 22 seconds.

            o, but yea i think he will be champion real soon. I give him 2 years max before we start tossing him around with much better competition and compare him to the greats of the division.

            I also expect to hear his name on ESPN and HBO in a little over 2 year also. u watch. this guys really somthing. u cant appreciate him until uve watched him

              Yeah he looked good I will definintly look out for him in the future. It's too early to tell how he'll turn out though.

                His brother is Andre Dirrell who is was a bronze medalist in the 2004 olympics.I have seen both of them fight a couple of times and they have skill and I thought they had more potential than Andre Ward.Time will tell for all three if they are future greats.

                  I don't like Andre Ward. There's just something about him.

                    it is to early to tell, but i just feel something with anthony. Hes got this great style, and his punches are huge and accurate. His borther Andre is good, but i dont think he'll amount to what anthony will.
